What’s a T-TIP?
Written by Sandy Williams
We have been hearing a lot about TPP and TPA. Here’s another acronym you should know—T-TIP. T-TIP stands for Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership.
The T-TIP is a trade and investment agreement being negotiated between the U.S. and the European Union. Launched by President Obama in 2013, T-TIP has taken a backseat to the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement (TPP) that the administration is working on, as well as to the Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) which would allow the President to “fast track” the TPP agreement through Congress.
